Don’t forget - if it weren’t for Chanukkah there wouldn’t be a Christmas.

Happy Hanukkah!
But the “history” above is pure balderdash. Where in the Acts of the Council of Nicaea was there any discussion of Christmas?? And where is the evidence that Gentile Christians were celebrating Hanukkah?
What actually happened is that the Jewish Christian community was scattered and dispersed by Hadrian’s edict banning Jews from Jerusalem in 135. After that date, the Church in Jerusalem was mostly of Gentile origin and the Jewish Christian community fell into obscurity.
Oh, and Hippolytus of Rome was already citing Dec. 25 as Christ’s birthday in the early 200s.
